Yep....and we just keep giving it away. We just raised the borrowing limit again this week. There will be a price to pay. I'm still amazed that some act like it will just go away.

No, it's time to elect some politicians that understand basic economic principles like spending more more money than you make. This applies to not only the radical socialists that inhabit the Democrat party but also the spineless worms like John Boehner, Mitch McConnell and the others that do nothing but whine about not having enough votes to get anything done.

Right now we have a POTUS that's acting as a de facto dictator, making legislation as he sees fit and so far only Rand Paul has shown the cajones to challenge his lawless actions.

The American voters need to start evaluating their own representatives by their voting records, not their rhetoric. Congress continues to reach record lows for approval ratings, but the low-info voters can't get away from thinking it's the politicians from some other district or state that are the scumbags, not their own guys. Maybe the public will start to see the light when their children, spouses and relatives start to die from lack of quality health care due to the disaster that is ObamaCare. Or maybe that too will become another new norm for our nation, like 7% unemployment, lower wages, 30-hour work weeks and 50% of the population on food stamps. if we're lucky maybe we'll see a change in public attitude by November.

As it sits now, we are very close to every working person supporting one that isn't.

Upon reading the article and gazing at the map, first thoughts:

I feel bad for West Virginia.
Isn't it funny how California and Italy are so similarly shaped.

"One million Rhode Islanders have as much wealth as 15 million Guatemalans."

Yeah, but 2,000 Rhode Islanders have as much wealth as the other 998,000 Rhode Islanders.
